The group was to hold what it called a First Amendment demonstration on Oct. 5 in the Gettysburg National Military Park, but the permit was rescinded in light of the shutdown.

“Because of the federal government shutdown, Gettysburg National Military Park has rescinded all permits for special events, including the Oct. 5 First Amendment demonstration,” said a statement from the park.
